How much fucking harder/extra work is it to maintain a Linux version of something? God damn, I don't even really use Linux outside of servers and I still think it's bullshit how little support it gets because it's like a Catch 22. Nobody works on it because nobody uses it; but nobody uses it because nobody works on it! (For gaming, anyway)

It's amazing how much actual change this one piece of hardware has done to bolster Linux's share of things, but it's still also just kind of a drop in the bucket.

Ohh my god true, these companies are massive but man for a while many games are windows first.
